I am so ####ing sick of this fear about the next James Neal bull####. You have to be willing to take a risk. The good clubs do their due diligence and minimize the risk hanging out there. The issue is to make sure that you do your research and make sure the guy is the right fit. Nothing in Hoffman's background or performance leads me to believe his game is falling apart. He's coming off ~30 goals and has been consistent in that manner for five seasons. He's not a ######bag like Neal and seems to be a pretty good guy, even after all the bull#### that Karlsson threw at him in Ottawa. He's just been a solid producer at a position we need significant help at.
